Here are the three keys to a Tennessee Titans victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

The Tennessee Titans will face off with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game for a spot in the Super Bowl. Each team pulled out its own miracles to stay standing in the playoffs.

The Titans faced the red-hot Ravens and Lamar Jackson in the divisional round. The Ravens entered the contest on a 12-game win streak behind the league’s best rushing attack. The Titans shut down the Ravens’ high-powered offense, limiting them to 12 points in a 28-12 victory on the road.

The Chiefs also needed a miracle to escape the Texans. The Texans dropped 24 points early off of some untimely errors by the Chiefs. Despite the Chiefs looking at a historic deficit, they rallied back quickly with 28 unanswered points in taking a 28-24 lead at half and never looked back. The Chiefs went on to win a 51-31 blowout behind the Chiefs’ seven consecutive touchdown drives.

The clash between these two AFC teams is a rematch of a Week 10 matchup in which the Titans pulled out some magic to win 35-32 at home. This time around, the Titans will need to travel to Arrowhead and win in frigid temperatures against a loud and raucous crowd.

The Titans are possibly facing their most winnable matchup in these playoffs after facing two of the most potent secondaries and stingiest defenses in the Patriots and Ravens. Here are the three keys for the Titans as they seek to reach their second Super Bowl ever.
